What’s next after "gay marriage"

Posted: December 29, 2011 in Morality, Politics

In discussions on homosexual marriage an often asked question is "How will it hurt you?" and unless I know the people involved I have to say it probably won’t directly hurt me immediately. But there is another question that I feel is more important.

In the last few decades adultery, fornication and then homosexuality have moved from being unacceptable to acceptable with homosexuality, at least, having at one time been illegal. My question is this: "Which currently unacceptable sexual practice is the next to become acceptable?"

A good candidate would be polygamy. With politicians currently selling themselves to attract the 1-2% homosexual vote why not try for another 2% of the vote, this time being that of the Muslims whose religion permits polygamy.

At least it’s got to have a better chance that paedophilia don’t you think?

    That’s a very good point. Although homsexuality has always existed, I’m not aware of it being officially endorsed by any culture anywhere at any time in history.

    Polygamy however, has been lawful in various cultures at different times, including Islam today.
